The choice of oil VAZ 2114. Car oils and everything you need to know about engine oils

06.12.2021

Changing the oil in a domestic car is a fairly frequent event. Owners are faced with such a need regularly, but it is unprofitable to visit a car service every time for this purpose. Changing the oil in a VAZ 2114 engine is easy and does not require serious knowledge or experience in mechanics, so even a beginner can handle this task.

Getting ready to replace

Despite the simplicity of the oil change procedure in the VAZ 2114, the following questions may arise before starting work:

The frequency of changing the lubricant;
Selection of the best type of lubricant;
Manufacturer's choice.

After reviewing the instructions and tips on this topic in advance, the motorist will learn how to change the oil in the engine of his car.

What oil to pour

To find out what kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2114 engine, you should read the manufacturer's recommendations. This will ensure the best performance of the motor.

This information is usually provided with the machine's instruction manual and is printed at the end of the manual.

For the above car, the best option would be to choose a semi-synthetic lubricant of 10W-40 viscosity standards. This is the main condition recorded in the instructions for this car.

If the sub-zero temperature in winter in the territory where the car is used can reach -30 ° C, then you can use a 5W-40 standard lubricant.

There is no specific brand that produces a lubricant and has proven absolutely on the positive side. The more popular the brand, the higher its price. Therefore, the driver is free to choose any of the available options.

Engine oil volume

The engine installed on the VAZ 2114 is a well-proven, but at the same time quite an old solution for motors for a car.

It began to be mass-produced since 1994 with the following characteristics:

Maximum power - 78 liters. With;
Engine capacity - 1499 cm3;
The required volume of oil in the engine per 1 ton of weight is 50 g.

In order to determine the exact amount of oil needed to replace the oil in the VAZ 2114 engine, you should pay attention to how much it was originally in it. Cars of this brand usually hold up to 4 liters of lubricant. It is this volume of lubricating fluid in the motor that will be needed.

Where to pour oil

Before you change the oil, you need to find a hole on the car's motor called the "dipstick". It is located almost under the vacuum cleaner, near the clutch cable.

To make it easier to find it, see the photo on the right with the location of the probe. For greater convenience, you need to use a flashlight, which will greatly facilitate the search.

This probe will help determine the amount of liquid remaining in the tank. But it is worth remembering that in order to accurately determine the required volume, all measurements should be carried out when at least 10 minutes have passed after the car has been parked.

If the change of the lubricant in the engine is not the first time, then it is worth using the same type of lubricant as usual. It is also necessary to monitor the level of the filled fluid, since if it is poured over the “MAX” mark, this will entail an increase in lubricant consumption due to its flow through the stuffing box and gasket.

Another point is the location of the work. The site must be perfectly flat, which will allow you to determine the exact amount of drained and filled liquid.

Changing the oil

Usually, the lubricant change procedure begins by draining the old fluid. For this procedure, a viewing hole or overpass is best suited. Having gained full access to the bottom of the car, it will be much easier to carry out this replacement.

But before starting work, it is required to warm up the machine, which will greatly simplify the discharge of a viscous liquid, the fluidity of which is greatly improved by the effect of heating.

After that, you can begin to dismantle the plug on the drain hole. But before that, it is worthwhile to prepare a container for the waste substance in advance.

Tools

Despite the fact that changing the oil in a VAZ 2114 engine is a fairly simple procedure and does not require professional skills, it is still worth preparing for it in advance.

To do this, you will need a number of tools that every motorist has, which are also necessary to replace the pressure sensor:

First of all, a sufficient amount of motor lubricant is bought. Usually these are containers with a volume of 5 liters or more;
Rags;
Grease filter;
Wrench 17. For convenience, it is best to have both an end and a ring version. This can greatly simplify do-it-yourself change procedures. You should choose a quality tool, since the drain plugs are usually tightly tightened and it will take considerable effort to remove them;
Capacity of sufficient volume for draining the spent substance. Usually a 5-liter canister is enough for this type of work. But to avoid inconvenience when draining, the neck of the reservoir must be of sufficient diameter;
Funnel;
Oil filter wrench.

After preparing all the tools, you can get to work.

Step-by-step instruction

The procedure for changing the lubricant with your own hands consists of several steps, described below in the instructions:

It is not necessary to completely pour in the entire required volume. For starters, 3 liters will be enough. After waiting for a while, you should check the fill level. It must be between the "min" and "max" values. Now you can add everything else to the mark of the maximum allowable volume.

After the work done, you should clean the engine compartment from drops with a rag and you can start the car.

Many owners of a VAZ 2114 8 valve car were faced with the choice of oil to replace in a vehicle engine. Exploring the topic, the opinions of the manufacturer and motorists differ, but everyone comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to pour high-quality semi-synthetic motor oil.

Why do you need engine oil

Engine oil plays a very important role. It lubricates internal parts and also serves as an indirect heat sink. So, an oil change is necessary due to the loss of its technical and chemical qualities during operation.

In addition to the fact that the oil lubricates the spare parts, it must also remove heat from the main elements to the sump, where it is cooled. During operation, chemical changes in the composition of the lubricating fluid occur, and therefore the lubrication function is lost.

Also, engine oil accumulates metal chips in itself, which is formed due to friction of parts, thus it can no longer lubricate the components with high quality, and can also damage them. During the development of parts, such as pistons, the products of the consequences of fuel combustion can get into the lubricant, which worsens the lubricating properties.

Many motorists are wondering - what kind of oil is better to fill in a VAZ 2114 8 valve engine? According to the technical documentation of the manufacturer, it is recommended to fill in semi-synthetic oils of the following grades:

Lukoil-Lux.
Tatneft Lux.
TNK Super.
BP Visco 2000 and 3000 from British Petroleum Lubricants.
Mannol Elite Extreme Classic German made.
Mobil 1, Super S and Synt S. Ravenol HPS, SI, LLO, Turbo-C HD-C and TSI from a German plant.
Shell Helix Super. Plus. Ultra, Extra.
ZIC A Plus Korean manufacturer "SK Corporation".

The AvtoVAZ plant provided a wide selection of motor oils to the taste of the motorist.

The choice of motorists

What kind of oil to fill in the VAZ 2114? Exploring forums and other sources, we can conclude that most motorists still choose the recommended oils. So, according to surveys, most engine owners prefer to pour the following engine oils into their engines: Mobil 1, ZIC A Plus, Shell Helix.

As you can see, motorists do not really trust domestic manufacturers of motor lubricants - Lukoil-Lux, Tatneft Lux, TNK Super, and prefer foreign analogues.

Oil change process

Any motorist can change the engine oil in the power unit with their own hands. You don't have to be great car mechanics or car repairmen to do this. The process is quite simple and takes an average of 30-40 minutes. But, before proceeding directly to the issue of considering changing the lubricant, it is worth understanding - how much oil to fill in?

According to the technical documentation of the AvtoVAZ plant, 3.3 liters will be required. But, as practice shows, the answer to the question: how much oil is needed to be poured into the engine is incomplete. Experienced motorists recommend stocking up with 3.5 liters of motor lubricant.

Now that all the questions have been considered, we can proceed directly to the consideration of the issue of changing the lubricant:

Let the car cool down, while removing the negative terminal from the battery.
We carry out the dismantling of the motor protection, if any.
We unscrew the drain plug, and substitute the container.
While the oil is draining, using a special puller, we change the oil filter. Do not forget that before installing a new product, it is necessary to pour 150-200 grams of new oil into it.
We twist the drain plug. At the same time, it is also necessary to replace the sealing copper ring, which, most likely, has worn out or been damaged during dismantling.
We unscrew the filler neck on the power unit, and pour in the required amount of engine oil.
We let the car run for 5-7 minutes, and check the level of lubrication in the engine. If necessary, add lubricant so that the mark on the dipstick is between the maximum and minimum marks. If everything went well, then the car can be operated.
After 50-60 km, it is necessary to re-check the level of lubrication in the engine.

Conclusion

Choosing engine oil for an 8-valve VAZ 2114 engine is quite simple. The most suitable is semi-synthetics with markings 5W30 and 5W40. Recommended lubricants by the manufacturer are Mobil 1, ZIC A Plus, Shell Helix, Lukoil-Lux, Tatneft Lux, TNK Super. Foreign-made lubricants are the most popular among motorists.

These are only recommended by AvtoVAZ oils for VAZ 2114. Now let's get down to specifics. As you may have noticed, the table has a very large range of recommended viscosities - from 0W-40 to 20W-50. Oil approval for VAZ 2114 - SJ / CF. This is a fairly old admission. There are fewer and fewer oils with a similar class. Remember, I said that the VAZ 2114 originates back in the 80s? So since that time, the requirements for oil have not even changed. Although most motor oils now have an API class already SN. I think you catch the train of thought? You can safely go to the oil store and choose with your eyes closed from the range of motor oils any. And with a probability of 80% it will fit. But let's not go to extremes and try to systematize choice of oil for VAZ 2114.

What oil is better for VAZ 2114?

This is probably the most difficult question to answer. Because there are no better oils. There are oils of high quality and low, as well as suitable and not. Accordingly, we will try to answer the question - "Which oil is better for VAZ 2114?"

If a customer has a question "What oil is better to fill in a VAZ 2114?", then we always recommend oils with a viscosity of 5W-40 and an API grade of at least SL. Usually this is or . These oils are excellent for year-round use, perform well at low temperatures and contain a balanced additive package. This is very important for our Siberian climate. In addition, these oils are the "golden mean" in terms of price and quality.

If we approach the issue from a financial point of view, then VAZ 2114 engine oil can be divided according to the price range in rubles per 4 liters:

From 500 to 1000 rubles.
- from 1000 to 1500 rubles.
- from 1500 to 2000 rubles.
- from 2000 rubles and more.

The first group includes oils of the brand Lukoil, Rosneft, G-Energy and other domestic oils. These are the most budget oils for VAZ 2114. This is usually either mineral oil or semi-synthetic. This is the most undesirable choice, but if finances are running out, and the time for an oil change has already come, then you should choose oils from this group. As the saying goes, some oil is better than no oil.
and others. These are one of the most personalized brands suitable for the VAZ 2114.
The fourth group of oils is already premium oils. The price of more than 2000 rubles for a canister of oil suggests that the owner of the VAZ 2114 absolutely does not spare money for the car. But in reality, this is just a waste of money, although if it is easier for the buyer, then so be it. This includes oils such as Motul and.

That's actually all!

Lada Samara-2 (or VAZ 2114) is a restyled version of the older VAZ-2109. The car was produced in a hatchback body with front-wheel drive and first appeared before the public in 2001, where the first copy of the Chetyrka was shown. The conveyor worked from 2003 to 2013, after which the Samara lineup ceased to exist. The main difference between the hatchback at the start of its production was an updated front end, hood, new grille and bumpers. In addition, the second generation of Samara was equipped with a modern instrument europanel.

The line of VAZ 2114 power units included 1.5 and 1.6-liter gasoline engines with a manual transmission. The average fuel consumption in mixed conditions for all engines is almost the same and is 7.2-7.6 liters per 100 km. Next will be described what kind of oil they work with and how much it needs to be filled in. From 2003 to 2006, a 79-horsepower 1.5-liter engine with 8 valves was installed on Samara-2. In 2007, the model underwent an update, after which a 1.6-liter unit with the same 8 valves was installed on the hatchback. The main difference from its predecessor is the E-gas system and electric throttle, as well as a redesigned front panel and an on-board computer that notifies the driver of time, temperature and network voltage.

March 2010 Samara-2 met with new engines. Now these are 16-valve modifications that allow you to accelerate the car to the limit of 185-190 km / h (this indicator makes the model the fastest small-scale AvtoVAZ). The same installations can be found under the hood of Lada 110, Lada Priora. The Chetyrka conveyor was stopped at the end of 2013. For 10 years of production, the model sold a “circulation” of almost 1 million units, and the budget and no less popular Lada Granta came to replace the VAZ 2114 (its release started back in 2011).
